Traditional uses of Organic Garlic :

• Garlic has been used for its therapeutic and nutritional values. Although it is not certain when garlic was first discovered, it was probably dispersed by nomadic humans several thousand years ago. Ayurvedic scholars mentioned garlic in the Sanskrit writings as early as 3000 B.C.
• Ancient Egyptians worshiped garlic as a God, and its name was often invoked at oath takings. Value of garlic was so immense that 15 pounds of garlic would purchase a healthy male slave. During the building of the Great Pyramid, the construction workers lived on a diet consisting primarily of onion and garlic.
• Folklore attributes garlic with good luck and protection against evil. The smell was said to ward off sorcerers, werewolves, warlocks, and-of course-vampires.
• Beyond superstition, modern research has confirmed what our ancestors believed and practiced for the health benefits of garlic.
• Research in 1858, by Louis Pasteur, documented that garlic kills bacteria. During World War II, when penicillin and sulfa drugs were scarce, garlic was used as an antiseptic to disinfect open wounds and prevent gangrene. Recent research identifies hundreds of volatile sulfur compounds in the herb having antibacterial actions.
